Large Number Of Processes In Activity Monitor
Jun 4, 2007
All;
We have a Windows App and Web App that share business objects which points to a single database. When a Windows user logs in, an average of 50 processes are created in the first few seconds and never go away. The details window is blank and they all remain sleeping from that point on.
I have stepped through the code to see if there is anything odd going on but most of the processes are created when validating the number of parameters the stored procedure has or the length of the stored procedure name. This translates to 1000-1500 processes on average.
Is this normal? Will it hurt performance? Is there a way to remove them?

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

Hi,
I have a problem with Job Activity Monitor.
I have a SSIS which copies data from a table to a flat file. The connection string of this file is variable and the file is reused if not exists and is created if exists.
When I run the SSIS manually from my microsoft visual studio it works properly. However, when I run this SSIS from the Job Activity Monitor, I get the following error:
Message

Hi All,
I want to analyze server (SQL 2005) activity at a specific time in the past. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a log file reflecting the information in Activity Monitor. Knowing that the sysprocesses and syslocks tables feed Activity Monitor, I thought about doing a log analysis on the master transaction log, but I'm not sure that's possible.
Is there a (different) way to achieve this?
Or is there a better approach to identifying processes that cause performance bottleneck/deadlocks?
Any input would be appreciated.

Today I ended up in a situation where I had a process with total six "subthreads" (identified by different execution context) (seen in Activity Monitor). All of these had blocking=1. The server didn't function properly, I don't know the details of these problems, since I was not present at that time. We had to kill the processes. What is the process id 1, "RESOURCE MONITOR" in SQL Server 2005, seen in Activity Monitor? Is it fatal if some processes are blocking RESOURCE MONITOR? How can one end up in such situation, is it normal or a bug somewhere?
The server is a 64-bit Windows server having SQL Server 2005 SP1.
Yesterday I had a CLR stored procedure running on another server. The procedure uses System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection to access this server. The procedure started about 11.4.2007 22:22. The procedure created a connection to the SQL Server and created a select that should return 1,5 million rows. During fetching the rows (about after 800 000 rows) the procedure crashes to an error:"".NET Framework execution was aborted by escalation policy because of out of memory. " Naturally the procedure couldn't close the SQL Server connections, since it was forced to end.
The details if the processes as seen from Actívity Monitor (I only have screenshots so I can't copy-paste...):
The main process:
Process id: 69
status: suspended
open transactions: 1
command: SELECT
Application: .NET SqlClient Data Provider
Wait time: 578
Wait type: ASYNC_NETWORK_ID
CPU: 1375
Physical IO: 22
Memory usage: 2
Login time: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Last batch: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Blocked by: 0
Blocking: 1
Execution context: 0
Two "subthreads", there are five similar.
Process id: 69
status: suspended
open transactions: 0
command: SELECT
Application: .NET SqlClient Data Provider
Wait time: 35293046
Wait type: CXPACKET
CPU: 4875
Physical IO: 2214
Memory usage: 2
Login time: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Last batch: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Blocked by: 0
Blocking: 1
Execution context: 1
Process id: 69
status: suspended
open transactions: 0
command: SELECT
Application: .NET SqlClient Data Provider
Wait time: 35293031
Wait type: CXPACKET
CPU: 4875
Physical IO: 2210
Memory usage: 2
Login time: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Last batch: 11.4.2007 22:22:05
Blocked by: 0
Blocking: 1
Execution context: 2
The rest three subthreads differ from the above by having different wait time, CPU, physical IO and execution context.

Hi,
I've been using the Job Activity Monitor quite a lot and last night I installed Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2005. I've noticed now that I only have a "Start Job at Step" option when I right-click a job. Whereas I used to have just Start Job or both Start Job and Start Job at Step options.
The problem is that Starting a Job at a Step, produces a modal dialog box which prevents further access to Job Activity Monitor until the job is complete.
Does anyone have any comments regarding this?
Thanks in advance,
Richard.

I'm hoping that someone has experienced this problem before and knows how to get round it.
The problem we are having is that we have a job that is scheduled to run at 4:00 am each morning, for the past 6 weeks it has done this with no problem. However, this morning it failed. we know it failed because it didn't produce the results it was supposed to. However the monitor said that the job had completed successfully. On examining the history of the job we found that the job was still running!!! When we tried to stop the job by right clicking and selecting the appropriate action. The action available to us was to start the job.
After arguing for a bit we decided to try and run the job again. We did this and found that the job running in the history screen terminated with an error and than ran and completed successfully.
Confused? So are we any ideas or solutions gratefully received

Hi!
I want to extract the same information as the Activity Monitor does with SQL in SQL Server 2000.
Have tried to use sp_who2 but I miss some important columns.
How do I do?

If you are in SQL Server Management console, go to Job Activity Monitor, there is an option 'View Refresh Settings'. You have to enable/check the Auto Refresh option here every time. Is it possible to keep this Auto Refresh enabled?
Thanks!

I have a SSIS package set up that will transfer a file from a location on the network drive and transfer it over FTP to another location.
When I manually run the package, the file is transfer with no errors. But when the job is automated (via Job Activity Monitor) the transfer fails?
I have set the ProtectionLevel of the package to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey" and also converted the package to a Development Model. The settings for the FTP is saved within the package.
What am I missing? below is the error message

We have killed a job which is now in KILLEDROLL BACK state. Job activity monitor is not showing any running jobs but I can see the SPID of that job. When tried to kill again its giving the message ‘command completed successfully‘, not able to get the percentage or time for the roll back to complete.
Another DBA tried to create a snapshot and it was stuck and I believe it was because of this ROLLBACK as both were using same Database.

Is there anywhere in the SSMS to see the start time of a currently running job, currently running it's first step, without needing to run a query?
If not, why would Microsoft decide to not show it in the job activity monitor?

The activity monitor is not showing entries for hosts which connect via sql logins (odbc), is this normal? Where can I find a list of protocols in which the hostname/ip can be picked up. We're on SQL 2005 SP1/Build 2153

Hi
we have one 'application'-user in sysusers that makes the connect to SqlServer for all users, for example:
Application Login-User: Thomas
DB-Connect-User: AppUser
With this solution, in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who I don't know, what is the real name of the connected user.
Any possibility to change the login-information after the connect, so that i can see 'Thomas' in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who?
Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to permanently change the order of the columns in Job Activity Monitor?
I'd like to move Duration to the right of Step Name, but this only lasts so long as I have JAM open. Once I close it and re-open, JAM goes back to its default column order. Google gives me nothing but the temporary "drag and drop" method that I already know about.

Please forgive the simplicity of this question - I am not the dba type. When I connect to a server and look at my connection attributes in activity monitor, the user column shows the correct information for my domainusername. When I run a certain stored procedure in that connection, the domainusername changes to another person. We are not using execute as, setuser, or anything special to explicitly change the user. The stored procedure is in a schema that is owned by dbo (principal_id = 1 - I verified by checking sys.database_principals.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
John Hennesey

For SQL Server 2000 we have a user login mapped to msdb with database role membership of db_datareader and public checked. This seems to allow the developers to view the Management Activity monitor. For SQL Server 2005 the same mapping is in place but the developers cannot view the Management Activity monitor. Developers are NOT granted the sysadmin role, and should not have that role.
What permissions need to be set for SQL Server 2005 to allow users to view the Management Activity monitor? They should not be allowed to take actions on the activities.

Hi,
We have development and user acceptance (UA) servers. When I start a job on the development server, on the management studio, Start Jobs window and Job activity windows indicate "Executing" until the end of the job and finish with "success" or "failure"
But on the UA server, second after I start a job, Start Jobs window comes up with "success" or failure" and Job activity monitor says "idle" but Job continues to log without any error message and updates the tables. So these two windows are not reliable at all. I have to add that I have only job operator rights on the UA server.
Does anybody know what the reason is ?
Thanks

I am trying to setup transactional replication between Server A and Server B. There are 265 databases on each server.
I am running SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003. The problem comes in at the 201st database. The message in the SQL Server Agent Error Log is :
Warning,[398] The job (WSSWPG09-EmpirePaint-WSSWPG06-104) has been queued because the maximum number of working threads (400) are already running. This job will be executed as soon as one of the working thread finishes execution.
SQL Server's max worker threads is set to 0. The Distribution, LogReader and T-SQL subsystems have been increased to 200 max_worker_threads.
Is there some other setting (maybe a Windows Registry setting) that can be configured to fix this? Or have I just hit a physical maximum of the processor?
Any help is much appreciated.

I set up a sql server 2005 database as publisher for about 50 sql mobile subscriptions. Yet in the replication monitor windows, it shows in subscription columns is 26549. Does it mean I have 26549 subsriptions or it means 26549 synchronizations?

Hi All,
I'm currently in the middle of building quite a large CMS using ASP.NET and MSSQL2K and have began to question if the amount of queries I am using for one page to be built is too many?
For one page (View Forum) I am getting all of the templates and checking access then pulling a list of threads, getting the first and last posts, then user info for the first and last posts... anyway to view 10 threads on the page the number of queries comes to about 54 and the page takes 0.064 seconds to load.
My question is, Is this to many queries to be running for a single page load? All queries are using Stored Procedures.
Thanks Guys.

hi,
Does large number of connections to a sql server result in slogging queries??
by large number of connections I mean in the range of 2000 to 2500 connections to various databases on the same server.
This happens on the production database, if I download the copy of the database and run the specific queries on the local box it hardly takes 1 second to execute, whereas on the production box it takes about 45 to 60 secs, i m working on the indexes part... was not sure whether number of connections to a server affect the performance of the queries or it is just that the indexes need defragmentation...

We are busy designing a generic analytical system at work that willhold multiple analytic types over time. This system is being developedin SQL 2000.Example of tableIDENTITY intItemId int [PK]AnalyticType int [PK]AnalyticDate DateTime [PK]Value numeric(28,15)ItemId - the item for which the analytic is being storedAnalyticType - an arbitrary typeThe [PK] tag indicates the composite primary key.Our scenario is the following:* For this time series data, we expect around 250 days per year(working days) and the dataset could extend to over 20 years* Up to 50 analytic types* Up to 20,000 itemsLooking at the combined calculation - this comes to roughly somethinglike25 * 20,000 * 50 * 250 or around 5 billion rows.We will be inserting around 50*20,000 or around 1 million rows each day(the inserts will take place in the middle of the night (outside themain query time) - this could be done through something like BCP orBULK INSERT.Our real problem is we have not previously worked with such largetables before and are nervous that our system is going to grind to ahalt. Our biggest tables are around 20 million rows at the moment.Scanning through google and microsoft's own site we have found aparititioning method that is available.http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...art5/c1861.mspxHaving experimented with the above system it seems rather quirky andlooking at the available literature it seems that this is not moreeffective than a clustered index as far as queries go.It needs to be optimized for queries like:Given the ItemID and the AnalyticType search for a specific date or aspecific range of dates.If anyone has any experience or helpful suggestions I would reallyappreciate it.ThanksA

Hi all,
A select query returns around 1 million rows. The column in the WHERE condition is indexed. This query takes nearly 1 minute for returning the all the records. Is this normal ?
Does the number of records returned affect the performance inspite of the indexing ?

Hi gurus, I'm creating a web application where I will have a large number of tables (between 10k and 20k), this is done for the sake of scalability as tables will be moved to different database servers as the application grows and also for performance (smaller indexes). I'm worried though how having a large number of tables could affect the performance of SQL Server as the application will start on one single database server. I tried to find some resources on that on the internet but couldn't find any.
I would really appreciate if you can give me some advice and if you have any good links that would be great...

For anyone with a larger number of databases (500+): How many do you have in a single instance. If you are using multiple instance on a single server, how many dbs per instance. This is why I'm asking
We are experiencing 701 "out of system memory" and temporary (usually) system freezes when the error occurs. We have 32bit 2005 version 9.00.2153.00, 32GB of memory, AWE enabled, quad dual-core 3GHz hyperthreaded server. Nether the bPool or VAS show any pressure when the "out of system memory error" occurs. Since this error usually indicates a VAS problem we tried increasing VAS to 1GB w/the -g flag. It made no difference. PSS has been working on the case for 3 weeks. They dont seem to be finding any evidince of memory pressure either. When I last spole to the escalation engineer yesterday it seemed that they are going to recommend reducing the number of databases on the server. I asked for clarification as to whether we are hitting a 32 bit barrior, an instance limitation, or both. I am awaiting the answer. How many databases do you have on your server? We had between 1700 and 1900 (the number varies) at times when the error occured. We are now at 1500, and have not had the error in the 2 days since reducing the number of databases...
